i found some interesting links which speak of this. when went to doctor checkup, said my lymes/babeosis gone, sounded like by products after disease why still sick. but i also read can be reinfected with lymes disease. i hope franky can give me a better explanation of why we still stay sick, it is puzzling. one of the links discusses how in europe people have NODULES on their skin, sound familliar? here are some links, like i said i hope fraky and maybye bubba find some better links on this. some doctors still insist on being dismissive, even if properly tested and diagnosed. I WILL SAY IF YOU HAVE HAD A BULLSEYE RASH, SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSIS OF LYMES. not all have that but if you do(or did), any doctor that dismisses that is an idiot. :P what gets me is one link i read sceptical of this happening says a scant five percent have problems after a short course of antibiotics (what about the ones ignored left for it to ravage the system like me, who get turned away)? bull, i say. bs my recommendation if can find a doctor familliar with lymes and its coinfections you best chance preferably an ialds doc (international association of lymes disease specialists) most lymes testing is inaccurate, 70% so, an igenex test is very good and one link said can be found in spinal fluid. i hope this is a good topic folks respond to, i am still kind of confused about why post lymes disease makes a person sick. see an ialds doctor does not recommend a quick fix for disease.(one month cured, no followup for still being sick after) here are the links i found i know alot of reading, but i find it interesting. here they are:

http://www.lymeinfo.net/chroniclymedisease.html (note the link for co-infections)
http://www.lymeinfo.net/coinfections.html (note the link to ricksetta, mycoplasma, chylamidia (chlamydia pneumonia?) , and up to date patient information :
http://patients.uptodate.com/topic.a...=inf_immu/6394 . i have to go over these links more myself. i am just a layperson whom like many in here who is sick. but i tell you those who "dumb" lymes disease down i have little respect for. the part of coinfections is interesting(which i have), even cites mites as spreading disease like some have posted about mice in the home. of course when thought had mites went to er i was dismissed as delusional, i had no swelling, even though i could barely get on sz 10 shoes on sz 8 feet. i wasn't even looked at by a doctor, but a nurse. i posted on this because was not in here, and i think this topic needed to be adressed.(LC)
